Trailer drop-in work module

Abstract

Disclosed is a drop-in work module was designed but not limited to be used with a wheeled vehicle such as a trailer. The work module provides a unique method for storing, transporting and having all the tools for task once you arrive to your worksite. The foldable side rails provide an additional feature, which provides additional work space for a jobsite requiring less setup time and the need for extra bench tops. The power equipment is designed to be mounted and ready for use with a minimum amount of setup time required to start your project. The work module depicted is setup for construction type projects but is not limited to various arrangements of tools to provide an optimum work station for various crafts.
